Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Old Bexley Conservation Area
- whether the proposal provides acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal space standards, aspect, air quality, noise and waste facilities
- whether the proposal makes provision to ensure adequate fire safety
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the Old Bexley Conservation Area from the prominent roof extensions, combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupants regarding amenity space, air quality and noise from the adjacent ventilation extraction unit, outweighed any public benefits.
